Cable management, made better in the UK by Crabtree

A compact range of PVC trunking and accessories called COMPAK together with a high cabling capacity range called MAXPAK that fully meet the requirements for Cat 5E, 6, 6A and 7 cables, is now available after being entirely designed, developed and manufactured in the UK and Europe. The new Crabtree trunking has a clean unobtrusive style that helps it blend into its surroundings, and with a clever open access design, provides full cable support during cabling for both top and bottom compartments.  

 

Both variants come with truly flexible internal and external corners to provide for the everyday reality that walls are not always 90º true. In addition, the corners offer ribbed inside supports ensuring cables are smoothly guided to prevent kinking and twisting and thus maximising data transmission performance and importantly presenting no capacity reduction at all. 

 

With 30% more cabling capacity than similarly sized competitive data trunking systems, Crabtree COMPAK gives better flexibility to the specifier and installer. However, for an even greater capacity, Crabtree MAXPAK offers the deepest trunking in its class.  With a depth of 65mm, MAXPAK enables better handling of power and data cables, offering a data cable capacity over 10% more than its nearest competitor.

 

Crabtree’s injection moulded flat angles, T pieces, and internal and external corners enable clean, quick and easy installation. When joining two lengths or corners together perfect alignment is easily and quickly achieved by using the dowel pins supplied. For simplicity, there is only one flat angle or T piece to purchase and install rather than different options for up and down. Also, with Crabtree MAXPAK’s revolutionary modular system, the configuration of the six most common solutions is achieved with the minimum number of components, all manufactured in quality polymer material with Fire Retardant properties. 

 

Crabtree’s COMPAK and MAXPAK have been developed in accordance with the requirements of BSEN 50085/ BS 6701 & BSEN 50174 and fully meet the requirements for Cat 5E, 6, 6A and 7 cables.
